| Power Conditioner Advice please... Glad it was of help. That's true what you say about regenerators. I don't use one. I've never been aware of any amp designers that seem to be following the issue that closely (or perhaps many even at all, really). I did have really good luck with ... | |
| Power Conditioner Advice please... Don’t want to hijack the thread or anything, but this may help also with the edification angle a bit. I apologize in advance for the stoopidly long post.There are generally two different possible reasons for voltage instability: one originating fr... | |
| On/Off Switch "Note. The power switch is a snap switch and should always be manually closed and opened in quick follow through movement. Especially on power amps. This will help in preventing of arcing when the switch is being opened. Arcing can/will cause pi... | |
| On/Off Switch I did neglect to address your other Q’s in your OP, but I’d say that your original instincts are correct about that if all the other AC ancillaries (power cords, fuses, power supplies, IEC inlets, duplexes, etc) are fair game for ’getting it right... | |
| On/Off Switch Congrats to Astros fans. Finally a world series win!! | |
| On/Off Switch nenon, Reading from your subsequent posts, I think maybe I've been going about this all wrong. Since you're building your own amp And you need the switch installed at the rear panel before the fuse and power supply, then that may change our game e... | |
| On/Off Switch LED indicator lights have also been found to slightly pollute the sound as well. | |
| On/Off Switch All this shows nothing more than the futility of cheap power switches. In gear that can be left on all time, you might consider removing the switch, and its associated wiring leads, altogether and use slightly better wiring in the bypass. Many DIY... | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? Hello Mike and welcome aboard! Nice post and thanks for weighing in here - we may only occasionally get the perspective of someone with your extensive experience. Hope you decide to stick around with us!Regards,John | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? @folkfreak "So what does this mean? It means that "good sound" is an intensely personal affair, and that also it’s likely that we all tune our ears to appreciate a certain acoustic aesthetic. Think about the times when you’ve made a change and tho... | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? @Wolf, great points! That's probably the best answer to my post above, since I knew I was kinda stuck not being able to resolve for everyone the problem as I see it, but that does it well enough. "If it sounds great, it's great...period". I like t... | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? For most of us, I think it may take a good 2 or 3 decades of familiarizing yourself with the market in this hobby to get to a reliably good enough level of experience with which you can feel good about your chances of success at downsizing and get... | |
| Physics of downward firing woofers Maybe the only real listening-oriented problem I could say that I’ve ever really run across in downward-driver designs is that, as a rule, I find there can be a big difference really between "bass impact" (or "wallop") and "bass dynamics". It’s po... | |
| Physics of downward firing woofers The sound waves do indeed, at least to some extent bounce back from the floor, go through the driver cone and back into the enclosure and, while that's not necessarily the greatest strategy sound-wise, it will not really mess things up all that no... | |
| Digital Music sounds too bright? @kalali, not really directly. That audible improvement you hear may be due to more of a difference in the geometry-vs-length-vs-gauge-vs-power load of the new power cord and also, presumably, the better (you could also say "lower noise") quality p... |
